Summary

In Episode 13 of Burn It All Down, the whole gang is back together to discuss the NF'nL. Julie DiCaro, Shireen Ahmed, Lindsay Gibbs, Brenda Elsey, and Jessica Luther talk about the NFL where domestic violence investigations continue to be terrible, CTE is back at the forefront of the discussion, and where Colin Kaepernick still can’t get a job, Lucky Whitehead can't keep his, and John Urshel doesn't want his anymore. Then Brenda and Shireen interview Ann Odong, expert on all things women's soccer and editor of The Women's Game (http://thewomensgame.com), about the UEFA Women's EURO 2017 soccer tournament. Plus, you’ll hear The Burn Pile and Badass Woman of the Week!
